by Okanoya Shigezane, Andrew H. Dykstra (Editor), Yoshiko K. Dykstra (Translator)
Requirements: pdf reader, 1.8 mb
Overview: I will kill the cuckoo if it does not sing,” said Nobunaga. “I will make the cuckoo sing,” said Hideyoshi, and “I will wait until the cuckoo sings,” said Ieyasu. These three views on a cuckoo tersely describe the personalities and characteristics of the three lords who survived the warring period in sixteenth and seventeenth century Japan, and are the main protagonists of this book, Shogun and Warlords.
A general view is: Oda Nobunaga took the first step to unify warring Japan; Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over and attained Nobunaga’s half-achieved ambition, the unification of Japan; and Tokugawa Ieyasu assumed the position of the first Shogun of the
Tokugawa Shogunate to rule a unified Japan. The well-systematized new Shogunate succeeded in maintaining peace through more than two hundred and sixty years until the black ships of Commodore Perry appeared at Shimoda in 1853.
This book, Shogun and Warlords, is based on the Meishôgenkôroku
, The Records of the Sayings and Conduct of Famous Lords by Okanoya Shigezane, a book that includes tales, anecdotal accounts, and episodes of one hundred and twenty-nine lords from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries, beginning with Lord Hôjô Sôun.
Genre: General Fiction/Classics
